Turner's youth and family circus has an "aerial gym" and offers classes in the aerial arts and other "circus" talents. They are in need of new equipment for the 2011, so they are holding some unique fundraisers to help fullfill their needs.

The instructors have a chance to match any equipment money raised from Turners Physical Education Equipment Grant Program up to $2000.00 a year. Your efforts will be doubled and really help makes a difference.
